Preferred parking comes to Disney Springs from June 1

Beginning June 1 2017, Disney Springs will offer a preferred parking option for guests.

For $10, you can park in the Grapefruit lot on the West Side near to Cirque du Soleil, or the Lemon lot near to World of Disney in the Marketplace.

Both preferred parking locations are surface lots, with parking in the garages and other lots remaining free of charge for all guests.

Disney also offers valet parking at Disney Springs, at a cost of $20 plus gratuity. Valet is located on the West Side near Cirque du Soleil, Town Center near the entrance to the Orange Garage, and the Marketplace in front of Basin.

The introduction of preferred parking began at the main theme parks in March 2016, where it costs $40 per day. Disney later added to the main parks with preferred parking at the water parks.

With the addition of preferred parking at Disney Springs, only the resort hotels remain as an additional parking revenue source, and speculation suggests that changes to parking at resorts is planned.
